Hi Shilpa…
can we add seasoning (phanna) to this recipe??? if yes, then which one???

Shilpa: Usually we don’t add phanna to the dishes which have teppal in it as teppal has its unique flavor. But if you want to add, you can add normal mustard-curry leaves seasoning.

Hi Shilpa, I have send this message through the help coloum but yet to get a reply. So i am sending you another note. Please help. I am very new to your blog. I saw some of the recipe. Even tried some of it. It turned out very well. I was wondering if you could give me the recipe for the curry which they serve in the gudwala. It is made of green peas. It taste so good that the smell in my hands, after eating with chappati will linger for at least 2 days. Please help. Please send it to my E-mail straight. Thanks in advance

Shilpa: Sakuntala, I have no idea of the recipe you are looking for. Haven’t heard of gudwala anytime.

hi shilpa,
you were right..the dish didnt turn out that good when i used fresh peas… and more over the green peas (fresh) that we get here are soo sweet that it will wreck any dish…what do can i do to reduce that sweetness other than adding chilli? do you have any other way?

Shilpa: Sowmya, you cannot do anything about sweet peas. Usually Indian stores have normal peas also along with sweet ones. Buy the normal one, usually sweet ones are not that suitable for Indian cooking.

Sowmya, usually fresh peas are not used for this recipe. I don’t think they will gel well with the beans and the coconut sauce. But you can try.
